When POV-Ray looks for include files, it start in the same folder as the 
current scene file, then, it search in the include folder.
When searching for an include from inside another include file, it 
search in the folder where the first include is located.

So, create a folder for your scene.
Place any custom include in that same folder.
Avoid placing your custom includes in the includes folder.
Benefits : Your project is easier to manage. If you want to publish your 
scene, you can simply zip the whole folder and get all of the required 
files.
